COLUMBIA ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION BOARD REPORT VOLUMES AVAILABLE TUESDAY ON NASA WEB SITE
Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. EST, Volumes II-VI of the
Columbia Accident Investigation Board's report will be available on
the NASA Web site, http://www.nasa.gov. These volumes contain
appendices and additional information that provide the supporting
documentation for the main text of Volume I, which was released on
August 26.
The Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) said in its Oct. 24
press statement that other conclusions and proposed recommendations
drawn in Vols. II-VI do not necessarily reflect the views of the CAIB
but are included for the record. When there is conflict, Vol. I takes
precedence. It alone is the CAIB's official statement.
Hard copies of Vols. I-VI are available through the Government
Printing Office for a fee. Those copies can be ordered from the GPO's
Web site, http://www.gpo.gov.
The full report will be available on the Internet after 10 a.m. at:
http://www.nasa.gov
and
http://www.caib.us
